Second Sunday in Lent 2022
Mar 13, 2022 • Pastor Paul Becker
Even as we confront the mystery of Jesus’ rejection as the One sent by God we are amazed at His all-embracing desire to welcome us as God’s children and move us to bless Him as the Coming One.
1. The mystery of Jesus’ rejection as the One sent by God
a. Jerusalem’s long history of rejecting God’s messengers
b. Why this world still refuses to receive the gift of God
2. Jesus’ all-embracing desire to welcome us as God’s children
a. As a hen gathers her brood – sacrificial love!
b. Your house will be abandoned
3. Jesus’ promise that some will respond to His invitation
a. Palm Sunday, Pentecost, Parousia!
b. Today in Word and Sacrament, we meet the living God
